Creepy Coffin Cookies

Have you decorated Halloween cookies, yet? Let me show you some of my favorite spooky cookies...coffin cookies complete with skeletons!

These would also be perfect for Dia De Los Muertos! (Thank you for reminding me, AJ!)This idea comes from Martha Stewart (like all good ideas). :)

The bones are made using Americolor Avocado, just a bit. The resulting color turns out to be a really cool pale ghostly green...like the color of something that is glow-in-the-dark, but not glowing. Anyone know what I mean?

Thanks for swinging by my blog for the Pioneer Woman cookbook review, though I don't know how you're holding out till book signing. This is really a beautiful cookbook and filled with even more photography that we've not seen on her blog. You will LOVE it!

I made Halloween cookies but they don't look as pretty as yours. Maybe someday I'll have time to work on cookies like yours. Your site definitely inspires me. Oh, & I like the sanding on the skeletons. I don't know why. ;-) Love your site!

Bridget!You are just fabulous for posting those one step at a time pics! I am telling you...you and your friend from "We are That Family" need to publish a book!I'd buy it BIG time!You could have all of your step by step pics...Would be a fabulous resource!Happy Cookie Icing!
